Jane Wants a Boyfriend sounds like the kind of film which will co-star Rebel Wilson, helping to find her best pal get hitched… Thankfully, this is not that movie.
Instead, it highlights the condition of Asperger’s, which Jane (Louisa Krause) has, which is not a topic normally touched upon in the movies, and it actually looks a lot more intriguing than most dating movies out there.
The billing states this is inspired by real life events, and explores a week in the life of Jane, a young costume designer working as an intern on an exciting theatre piece. Despite dealing with the everyday challenges of being on the autism spectrum she takes action to enlists her sister Bianca (Eliza Dushku) to help her find her very first boyfriend. As Jane goes on some very eye-opening first dates, Bianca realizes that, at the end of the day, we all deserve to be loved.
Directed by William Sullivan and written by Jarret Kerr, Jane Wants a Boyfriend has just been released in the US but there’s no UK date as of yet.
